Spain
Europe's most liveable large country for long stays, with a nomad visa, high-speed trains, the Canary Islands for winter and a late-night culture that suits travellers of every age.
Въезд и визы
Schengen rules apply (90 days in 180 for most non-EU visitors). Spain's digital nomad visa (introduced 2023) allows remote workers employed outside Spain to stay one year, renewable, with an income threshold around twice the minimum wage and a reduced tax regime for some. The non-lucrative visa suits retirees with passive income.

Безопасность
Very safe; pickpocketing in Barcelona's old town and on the Madrid metro is the perennial issue. Summer heat waves are increasingly severe inland.
Официальные рекомендации: Spain - Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution (Государственный департамент США, ). Рекомендация UK FCDO ↗
Здоровье
Excellent healthcare; EHIC for EU citizens, insurance for everyone else. Pharmacies are well stocked and pharmacists give good advice.
Деньги
Cards everywhere, though some bars have a 5 or 10 euro minimum. Bizum is the local payment app (needs a Spanish bank). Avoid Euronet ATMs.
Чаевые: Not expected; small change or 5 to 10 percent for good service · Вода из-под крана: Safe to drink
Как добраться
Renfe AVE and the new low-cost operators (Ouigo, Iryo) make rail cheaper than it has been in years. ALSA buses cover the gaps. Cabify, Uber and Bolt operate in main cities.
SIM-карты и связь
Movistar, Vodafone, Orange and the budget brands (Lowi, Simyo, Digi) sell cheap prepaid data; EU roaming applies.
